  • "Writer's Block"



    It is so easy to draw a map in your head, but so difficult to figure out what textures will make something "come to life".

    I hope to have this thing done this week for Quake Expo; in fact, I hope I have it done by the morning but figuring out textures sucks!

            You'll find out soon enough

            In fact, I might have to ask you some questions to find out how to do a couple of things I need to support some functionality I want before I can finish it.

              You've started making maps, Baker?

              My favorite way of making maps was to draw them out then visualize each part of the map and make notes. Then after I was done I'd have to make a giant hollow square over the entire thing because I could never find the leaks so I could vis.

                I've been into it on and off for about a year thanks to all the great help I got at Func_Msgboard.

                    I used to use Qoole, it did have leak detection, but for the most part I would make a map in 4 hours, fix all the leaks in 6 hours (yeah, they were mostly huge maps and it was really complicated and I was like "I didn't know there wasn't a all wall there!" and jump to my infinite doom), then when I was finally done I would run vis for about 48 hours and come back to my computer to discover either the electricity went out or I hadn't put enough lights to really make it bright enough or it was too bright.

                    Those were the days, I used to do this on a p75 so vising took forever.

                      If I ever find time to finish this up, it should be pretty cool. Obviously still under heavy construction.
